English Dub Review: Miss Caretaker Sunohara-sou “Melons, Teacher, Drunk”

Overview (Spoilers Below)

Summer break is finally here, and everyone is ready to wind down. Too bad they need to complete their homework in order to so. While the girls are out taking care of school council matters, Ayaka privately assists Aki with his homework. Afterward, they decide to treat themselves to some well-deserved, non-alcoholic drinks. Well, mostly non-alcoholic. Ayaka finds herself drinking a beer after Aki accidentally opens one by mistake. Hi-jinks ensue.

Our Take

This episode is dull. Even if we remove the excessive fan-service, this episode fails to engage viewers. Since, you know, the plot revolves around fan-service and Aki’s conflicted feelings towards women. There’s nothing that makes this show stick out in comparison to anime in the same niche — and this episode reinforces this notion. All in all, it’s tired and cliche. Thank you, Funimation, but next?
